Is this because that is just where the closest (Sprint) tower happens to be at or what? Either way though, with it being off like that, The program really does not help (for me anyway).
Still however, I appreciate all the hard work you put into this app, and will hit ya with a Thanks.

NOTE:
1. THIS IS NOT AN APPLICATION. This is a registry tweak. There is nothing running in the background to slow down your device!
2. I spoofed my phone number to get the examples pictured below. The
(710) area code is reserved for government use ONLY [so I hope I didn't dig my own grave my spoofing my number to that!]
3. As you know, an area code can cover a massive number of cities. I used the most recent area code database, which listed every city covered by the area code. Within each area code, the largest metropolitan cities were indicated. I mapped the coverage of the area code and selected the most central of the major cities. Therefore the reported location gives a general idea of where the number originates from.
4. I am receiving reports from many VZW ROM users that the location information is not shown on the incoming call screen. Please see below for a fix.
I skimmed over the list a few times to check for spelling mistakes/typos, but it is possible that I missed something. If you get an incoming call and, for example, it says "Toldeo, Ohio" instead of "Toledo, Ohio", or perhaps the location information is too long and therefore cutoff the screen, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I will update the tweak to ensure the mistake is corrected.
[For any Texas A&M Aggie fans, a user requested a tweak to the 979 area code, which I have posted
here.]
